Re: Application Hang

Here's another thought.

Is there an issue with the default gateway being a lower IP number than the DNS. I wouldn't think so, but then I've been wrong once or twice before in my life.

Hello RR2,

See here for the DHCP icons and description:
http://technet2.microsoft.com/windowsserver/en/library/f2013b82-248c-4ea4-a0e5-6e72b219163d1033.mspx?mfr=true

If the workstation ip is expired, the lease time is exceeded, delete the ip on the DHCP server "address leases" and run ipconfig /renew on the workstation.

The forwarders ip is only used form the DNS server, all domain members will ask the domain DNS server for the www.whatever.com address, if the server doesn't know it, it will automatically forward ther request to the ip addresses under the forwarders tab. So you will not see the addresses anywhere else.

Hello Meinolf,

I think we're gaining some ground, but still not working right yet.
When I do a "ipconfig /all" on the client, it is now showing the
router's IP address as it should, but I still can't get to the
internet on the client.

I've noticed a couple of things in the server that may or may not be
significant:
1. There is a blue exclamation mark "!" showing by IPv4 under the
DHCP
Server
2. Although the forwarders are set as you described earlier, I don't
see
them listed anywhere unless I right click on the server name.

Hello rRR2,

Yes, that 's what i look for and you have to set the option 003 for
the router ip address, the Default gateway for the workstation.

Hello Meinolf,

I'm home now, but logged into the server.
I hope this is what you were looking for by way of scope options:

Hello RR2,

Ok, but if you think about new software like exchange remember
the problem with single label domain names. Back to DHCP, what
about the client ipconfig without the DG ip address?

Hello Meinolf,

When the old server crashed, it required a new motherboard and
CPU. NT-4 and it wouldn't co-exist, so it was done as a clean
install by a tech support guy as I felt it was over my head.

I don't see us ever growing past what we have now (about 30
clients).
We don't run anything on the server by way of application. I
have
our
intranet posted there and quite a few shared folders so
different
people can
get access to the same things.
Cheers,
Ron

Hello RR2,

When it was NT4, did you upgrade or create a total new server?
Unfortunal single label domain names should be avoided. Will
not be a problem in your small network i hope, but if you think
to grow you have to change it to royalnet.local or similar, do
not use a real ending like .com or .net domain internal.
Exchange 2007 for example will not run with single label domain
names.

Again, please post the scope options from your DHCP server.

Correct, only "royalnet" for a name. Our previous domain
under NT-4 was a single word, so I changed it slightly so as
not to confuse the new from the old security hashes.

the exclusions have been entered for 128-132

Hello RR2,

For the exclusion i was rong sorry, rightclick Address Pool
and choose New exclusion range. What is listed if you mark
the scope options? You should see at least,006 DNS servers,
003 Router.

Your domain name is only royalnet? Nothing with
royalnet.local or something else?

Hello RR2,

Please post an unedited ipconfig /all from the client and
the
server.
The
Exclusions in DHCP you have to add by hand, will NOT be
filled
automatic,
how to i posted before.
Again, is the DHCP server authorized? In the DHCP console
rightclick
the
server and check AUTHORIZE option. Also did you activate
the
scope?

Hello Meinolf,

OK, here's where we stand.
I've extended the scope to five IPs (227-232)
No exclusion area listed even after refresh, so I skipped
that
part.
209..... DNS listings removed from the server as well as
the
client.
Forwarders were already set. Must have been picked up
from
the
router.
I did the ipconfig series (all, release, renew, all) on
the
client. Even rebooted the client.
Still no internet.
NOTE: I did not kill the DHCP service on the router as
the
rest of the company is still logged in.

Hi Meinolf,

I really appreciate the info you're coming back with.
As you may guess, my networking abilities are limited to
hands-on learning.

Please clarify the following points:

remove the dns 209............... Is this from the
server nic, the client, or both?

On all computers NIC'S in your domain.

"setup a forwarder" Please explain.

On the server open the DNS management console, go to
Start, Run and type "dnsmgmt.msc" without the quotes. In
the console add the server if not displayed. If you see
the servername, mark it, rightclick and choose
properties. On the opened window choose the FORWARDERS
tab and here fill in the 209.x.x.x addresses, doesn't
matter which order. If the options are greyed out, open
the + and go to the Forward lookup zones, here you can
see a "." zone (root zone, only used from DNS root
servers), rightclick the "." and delete it. Then close
the DNS management console and open it again. Now you can
add the addresses to the FORWARDERS tab, it will not
longer be greyed out.

Where do I exclude the unused IPs?

Open the DHCP console, choose your created scope and open
the +. Here you can see Exclusions, scope options,
leases. Rightclick Exclusions and choose add exclusion
range or similar, on the popped up window you can either
specify a range or a single ip address.

I could probably stumble around
and find it, but it's easier to ask and prove I'm stupid
as
opposed
to
locking everyone out and having them tell me.

Hello RR2,

For the scope, use more then one ip, make a range of 5
and
when
the
ip is
leased from the client, exclude the other ones.
As said before remove the 209.253.113.10 and
209.253.113.18
from
the
DNS
configuration on the NIC's and setup a forwarder as
described.
Please post your scope options also.

Here's the steup I tried. I limited this to one test
client when no one else was in the office so other
logins were avoided.

Server:
DHCP service running and authorized.
scope: 192.168.1.227 - 192.168.1.227 (so as to only
issue
one
IP)
IPv6 unchecked
IPv4
IPs
192.168.1.2
255.255.255.0
192.168.1.1
DNS
192.168.1.2
209.253.113.10
209.253.113.18
Router (IP is 192.168.1.1)
DHCP disabled.
Client
Obtain IP address automatically
Use following DNS
192.168.1.2
209.253.113.10
209.253.113.18
On client I reseased and then refreshed ipconfig. The
correct
DNS
showed up
under ipconfig /all, but default gateway was blank.
No
internet.
I also ran the same routine with the DNS on the client
set
to
automatic.
I know I'm doing something wrong somewhere along the
line.

Hello RR2,

Did you authorize the DHCP server and activate the
scope? If the DHCP scope options are setup correctly
with domain internal DNS server and default gateway,
the router ip from the LAN run ipconfig /renew on a
client or reboot it. It should get the correc
tsettings from the DHCP server. Additional you have
to configure the DNS server from the DC, which
normally will be installed during promotion of the
first DC, with a forwarder ip address. This ip is the
DNS server from your ISP and has to be set on the
server properties in the DNS management console under
the forwarders tab. On all machines in the domain you
have to use only the LAN internal DNS server no
external/public ip address.

That would be my desire, but I'm haveing problems
there too. I tried changing to the server for DHCP
service, but couldn't get to the internet. For some
reason, the DHCP server on the domain server isn't
passing the default gateway to the clients. Since
our previous server (before the crash) was setup
with the router serving DHCP, I left it that way
from the beginning. The old server was an NT-4
server and all worked well.

Hello RR2,

I would not use the DHCP form the router, do it the
other
way
around
and
disable it, install the server as DHCP server and
also
use
DNS
on
the
Server not from the router, if so configured.

We've recently installed Windows Server 2008 and
are now experiencing some problems with
application hangups.

The server is a domain server with a few shared
files and folders. No applications are installed
on the server.

Periodically, someone updating one of the shared
files from a client PC will cause a lockup. The
event viewer on the client PC shows Application
Hang. There are no events showing on the server
for the time of the "incident". All shares on the
server lock at that time and the only way out is
to reboot the server.

Additional information that may or may not be
related. Our router is acting as DHCP server for
the entire LAN. The DHCP server on the domain
server is disabled through services and
unauthorized.

Any suggestions as to what could be causing the
lockups?
